Apple's $94B Q3 soundly beats Wall Street thanks to iPhone and China growth
Trump cultists will believe whatever their cult leader decrees, updated regularly. Last year they were vehemently in favor of releasing the Epstein files; this year they are protecting pedophiles 🤷♂️🤦♂️voice-of-reason said:
this is a mind-numbingly ignorant comment. Tariffs do NOT address trade deficits. No matter how high we "tariff" Vietnam, they do not have enough people or income to balance trade with us. You have to know this. I simply can't believe you actually believe a tariff war will even out trade deficits.mrwitt said:Tariffs are a very positive long term strategy. Our country has been taken to the cleaners for years with gross trade deficits.

Even if this magical thinking was true… your messiah is:mrwitt said:Tariffs are a very positive long term strategy.
*using tariffs as a retaliatory foreign policy tool completely disengaged from economics and trade (the Brazil tariffs intended to force Brazil to corruptly manipulate its justice system to aid an ideological ally)*erratically applying tariff rates untethered from reality and later postponing them, creating tremendous uncertainty in markets
*damaging the value of the USD, which has declined precipitously vs other currencies
*inflicting great damage on US automakers’ profits
*making China look increasingly more desirable as a trade partner. China’s leadership is rational, stable, and seems to understand economics. China doesn’t base its economic policies on personal grudges and capricious whims. China doesn’t whipsaw between radically different economic and foreign policy goals every four to eight years. China doesn’t make agreements and then capriciously throw them out the window shortly thereafter as Trump has done with a trade deal made with Canada in his first term.
I don’t expect any of these facts to influence the opinions of devoted Trump cultists, who will always find a way to displace the blame for the negative fallout from their messiah’s deeply irrational policies onto Hunter Biden’s laptop or Hillary Clinton or drag queens or whatever else is the right wing’s latest ginned-up enemy of All That Is Good And Right.

Apple shareholders sue over Siri delays and massive losses

You seem to think that the securities market is the Wild West, anything goes and caveat emptor. While this is true to a certain extent, the most obvious counter-example is Enron which engaged in grossly fraudulent misrepresentations that were aided and abetted by their accounting firm. There are many other less notorious examples of shareholders successfully suing public companies over lies and misrepresentations to the public and to shareholders.rob53 said:So shareholders want to sue for vaporware? Good luck on that. This happens all the time with products in every business. Companies try and make a good faith effort to bring a proposed product to market but these products don't always work out. I'd challenge the stockholders to justify everything they've said they were going to do but didn't. The stock market is gambling, plain and simple. Sometimes you win, most times you lose. Deal with it!
